Pick a date, review your photos, keep the best, delete the rest. No AI, no cloud, just you deciding what stays.
"To cull" means to sort through and select the best.
20,000+ photos and no idea where to start?
Duplicates, blurry shots, screenshots from 2019?
Storage full but you can't bring yourself to delete anything?
We built Cully because we had the same problem. A photo library that kept growing, no good way to clean it up without uploading everything to some cloud service or paying for a subscription. So we built something simple that just works.
Choose today, a random day, or browse recent photos. Cully loads them straight from your iCloud photo library.
Scroll through your photos in a clean grid. Tap to mark what you want to delete, pinch to zoom in for a closer look.
iOS confirms every deletion. Photos move to your Recently Deleted folder where you can recover them for 30 days.
No account, no cloud processing, no tracking. Your photos never leave your device.
See how many photos you've deleted and how much storage you've freed. Lifetime, this week, per session.
Optional push notifications help you build a habit and keep your library tidy at your own pace.
Check your deletion stats at a glance without opening the app.
Your stats and settings carry over to all your devices via iCloud.
Optimized grid layouts for every screen size, from iPhone SE to iPad Pro.
